Another "dreamer"...
If this guy get's his $22k, I'm putting mine up for $50k:

$22k is a little crazy, but the opening bid of $12K might not be too bad. Different hood, detail the interior, get rid of the side pipes, it could be a nice driver assuming the car is solid mechanically.

Oh Pleeeeease! This ride is a POS. The picture of the aftermarket tach and chipped center gauge bezel makes this car a joke for $22k.
As one who prefers to keep a car stock, I would offer him $6k and not a penny more. You'd have to dump-in another $10-12k just to replace all the aftermarket garbage.
Good catch Tony. I'm with you on this 100%.

I emailed a guy about a 75 vert on ebay. Didn't get any bids starting at 15,000. Guy emailed me back said the reserve was 20,000. It was nice, but not that nice, could find a decent chrome bumper vert or a nice 73 vert for that, I've seen them for that.

What is it that makes this one so special?
The center bezel is all chipped up.
THe tach was replaced with a true bolt on after market to the steering column. Nothing really special or great for $22k.
I would definitely pass on this one.

wouldnt pay 20k, no way, but probably 12 to 15 IF he could produce documentation that the engine was done by a reputable company.
but, i dont care about pure originallity; i like an original LOOKING car, but with a few upgrades (like my 73 with zz4, original paint, and all original interior). lets face it, 73 engines suck compared to zz4's.
whats up with the chipped gauge bezel???? cant they be replaced pretty cheap, or is that an originality sin???? i wouldnt care, i would replace it.
